Hiring a consultant with zero risk

Hiring a consultant can be a lot like hiring a contractor to work on your house. Even with glowing reviews and recommendations, it’s tough to really know how well they’ll perform until the work is underway. You’re placing significant trust in their ability to deliver, and it’s hard to assess until you see the results. And regardless of the outcome, you’ll still receive an invoice.

Some consultants are absolutely worth the investment—they understand your business, bring the right expertise, and help you solve problems effectively. Others, however, may fall short of your expectations. There’s always some risk involved, both financially and perhaps more importantly in time you spend—an opportunity cost you can't get back. So, how do you find the consultant who will truly add value to your business? What should you look for when evaluating a potential partner?

At Tractable, we take a different approach to consulting. We help you brainstorm, explore new ideas, and figure out ways to improve efficiency, spark innovation, and drive long-term growth. We help you think bigger about your business. We also help devise low-cost, low-risk experiments to test different approaches and determine the best path forward. We avoid buzzwords and chasing the latest trends. Instead, we focus on the fundamentals, addressing what truly matters, and taking a practical, results-driven approach.

We’re so confident that we can bring value to your business that we offer a guarantee. We don’t require upfront payments, retainers, or any financial commitment. Instead, we’re happy to invest our time upfront to understand your business, and we’ll present an initial set of ideas based on what we learn. If you decide to use any of the ideas we create together, you’re welcome to do so—whether or not we continue to work together. We believe the ideas we generate will add value, and we’re confident that if we do work together, you’ll be able to move forward more quickly, more effectively, and ultimately achieve even more value than doing it on your own.

If, at any point, you feel we’re not the right fit or that our approach doesn’t align with your goals, there’s no obligation to continue. We believe in removing any risk on your part—we’ll take on that risk because we’re confident in our ability to deliver results. Our primary goal is to connect with the creators and innovators shaping the future and see how we can help accelerate your growth. If you find value in our approach and collaboration, we’d be excited to explore the potential for both short-term or long-term partnership opportunities.
